Im playing on marlas world map. Im am the english. I own spain and north africa. All of my cities have harbors. I descided to go to war with the french, cause after all, there french. Before I did that my resources were going back and forth fine. I could build knights, and musketmen anywhere I wanted. So I declair war on the french and all of a sudden my resources get crapped. The harbors stop working. None if the harbors are blocked by french ships. Why cant I get any resources anywhere? Im gonna lose the damn war now cause the game is skrewing me over. UGH!

Anyway, There could be several reasons why your resources are gone. Are you sure the French didnt have a Mutual protection with some other scum like Germans??? If so they will have cancelled trade on declaration to war. Or perhaps you were trading with the French themselves??
Or, for trade to work there needs to be a visable sea route (at certain points in the game).. some squares will be sea, others will be ocean, if a row of the 'sea' squares are blocked by French Ships then you'll be cut off..Up The Millers

You don't have discovered Astronomy yet? If so, your trade path shall go unblocked (not through french territory) by coast tiles only.
You don't have discovered Navigaton or Magnetism yet? If so, your trade path shall go unblocked (not through french territory) by coast and sea tiles only.
Connections through ocean tiles work only after discovering Navigation or Magnetism.
So, depending what your state of science is, look, if there is a path connecting your harbors and not going through France.

Does your trade route go through French territorial waters? If the French cultural zone of control extends into the coast/sea and blocks off your trade route, that could be the problem that's cutting off your harbors. Trade cannot move through enemy territory.
